ISTANCE
The proper setup of the left and right channels is crucial for optimum system
performance. If these speakers are not set up correctly the entire system will suffer
from poor integration. Please follow these steps carefully:
•
Place the speaker in an appropriate location relative to your screen and lis-
tening area. Make certain to remove the grilles and spikes.
•
Toe the speakers in so that you can just barely see the inside edge when
seated in the primary listening position.
•
Using removable masking tape, graph off the floor so that you can accu-
rately move both speakers forward and backward in 1/2 inch increments.
•
Place your multichannel processor into stereo mode.
•
Using a piece of full range music (dynamic with a lot of low frequency infor-
mation) played at a moderately high level, take notes on the sound quality.
Pay specific attention to upper and lower bass quality, dynamic contrasts, im-
age height and focus.
•
Move the speakers back or forward in 1 inch increments and then 1/2 inch
increments.
Note: Moving the speakers BACK will generally increase low bass, sharpen focus, lower
image height, and increase dynamics up to the point where you go too far, in which case
the sound will start to lose these qualities in addition to becoming boomy and slow sound-
ing. Moving the speakers FORWARD will increase air and bloom, raise image height, and
generally increase the sense of space. Moving too far forward will cause the sound-stage to
become unnaturally high with a lack of focus, dynamics and low end extension.

• Find the front to back location where the bass is tight, dynamics are correct,
image is well focused and you find the best sound staging.
• Mark this as your final front to back location.
